Musk announced on Monday that **Twitter** Blue's relaunch had been postponed until there was 'great certainty of halting impersonation.' Elon Musk reportedly informed staff members at a hands-on meeting that Twitter is now actively [recruiting](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11760/6-best-recruiting-trends-you-should-implement-in-2018), weeks after the **company let go more than half of its 7,500 [employees](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44463/business-to-business-vat-reclaiming-a-guide-for-your-employees).** According to reports, Twitter's remaining employees were informed that the company wants to grow its engineering and sales teams and has urged staff to recommend qualified candidates. The announcement comes a week after it was reported that hundreds of Twitter workers had left the company as a result of the new owner **Elon Musk's ultimatum for employees to sign up for long work hours or quit.** The previous week, Musk sent an email to Twitter staffers with the following message: 'Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in a more [competitive](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/43436/benefits-of-referring-to-hc-verma-book-for-competitive-exams) market, we will need to be incredibly hardcore.' The email invited employees to respond 'yes' if they wished to stay on. According to the email, those who did not reply by Thursday at 5 p.m. Eastern Time would be deemed to have resigned and would receive a severance payment. In a study about the business software Blind, which allows [anonymous](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1140/what-is-anonymous-class-in-java) information exchange and authenticates users through their work email addresses, **42% of 180 participants chose the option to 'Taking exit choice,** I'm free!' Only 7% of those who responded to the poll asserted, 'I clicked yes to stay, I'm diehard,' while 25% said they had chosen to stay 'reluctantly.' The **Twitter** biographies of many departing staffers last week identified them as 'softcore [engineers](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12377/10-tips-to-pass-comptia-security-for-future-specialists-and-engineers)' or 'ex-hardcore engineers,' in what appeared to be a dig at Musk's call for workers to be 'hardcore.' --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2409/weeks-after-significant-layoffs-elon-musk-tells-twitter-staff-that-he-is-prepared-to-hire-again Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
